The authors report a rare case of thoracic intradural extramedullary capillary haemangioma, the clinical presentation of which was similar to any other intraspinal mass. Magnetic resonance imaging does not always distinguish this entity from others, but the presence of enlarged vasculature is often a useful clue. Complete resection is the treatment of choice of this hamartomatous lesion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
